Wastra Nusantara.
.
The women of Timor weave some of the most colorful and varied textiles in all of Southeast Asia. The cotton garments they produce, which often bear intricate patterns linked to specific families or clans, serve as clothing and markers of identity, and — when they’re exchanged as gifts — nurture social relationships. The weavers’ primary vehicles of cultural expression, the cloths reveal deep social, religious, historical and political meanings.

West Timor is the centre of a strong regional textile tradition featuring an extraordinarily wide range of hand loomed textiles including ikat, sotis (songket), and buna (supplementary weft), indigo and morinda dyeing, basket work and pottery. Crafts, especially textiles feature strongly in all aspects of life for the Timorese.
